She received a Laurea cum Laude in Mathematics from the University of Bologna, Italy in 1989. ^[3] She completed her doctorate in 1999 at Purdue, under the supervision of Carlos Kenig.^[3] Before joining the Purdue University faculty in 2001, she held positions at The Johns Hopkins University and at the Institut Mittag-Leffler in Sweden. She was also a visiting fellow at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in 2014. She serves as member-at-large in the Executive Committee of the Association for Women in Mathematics.^[4]

• National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2003)
• Simons Fellow in Mathematics (2014)^[5]
• Fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2017 "for contributions to partial differential equations and geometric measure theory, and for service to the mathematical community".^[6]
• Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics since 2020 for "her generous and consistent involvement in, and remarkable impact on, a large number of excellent local, national, and international initiatives to support interest and involvement of women in mathematics at all levels; and for remarkable, pioneering contributions positioning her as a role model for more junior mathematicians, particularly women".^[7]
